What is workers’ compensation?

New Jersey began requiring employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance more than 100 years ago. The insurance covers almost every employee in the state, with very few exceptions. Our New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys help you obtain rightful financial compensation, whether your injuries are temporary, or you have been permanently disabled. Workers’ compensation insurance ensures you are not left financially unstable while you recover. New Jersey workers’ compensation benefits includes:

Independent contractors are not usually covered by workers’ compensation insurance. To save costs, employers often try to misclassify people who are really employees, as independent contractors. The test determining whether or not you are an employee comes down to how much control the employer has over you, and your work, on a daily basis. Our experienced New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys take on these fact-driven cases and get results. We have more than two decades of experience on your side. You have a limited amount of time to take legal action for injuries you suffer on the job. Delaying taking legal action may force you to bear the financial burden for your injuries, so contact us today.
